Well first time to this track last night and first time running my stang. Made 9 passes altogether wanted to get more in but a couple of different people held things up a while. ET lights at the end of the track one time and a bad oiling all the way down one lane.

The first run was rough I ran a 14.40 at 94.9mph. Battled spinning tires and wheel hop trying to find a sweet spot to launch and was getting better just ran out of time with the delays on the track.

I didn’t try to lighten the car any before racing it, kinda wanted to get an idea of time with all my crap in the trunk spare, jack, a few tools, cleaning products you know. I didn’t mess with tire pressure or bleed off the blinker fluid just ran the car like it was.

We are about 220ft above sea level it was 72deg and 64% humidity. My last run the numbers looked like this

R/T -----.200
60' -----2.16
330 -----5.88
1/8 -----8.95
Mph -----80.4
1000 -----11.57
1/4 -----13.79
Mph -----101.2

How much would just adding control arms to my current Mods help?
I’m open for opinions, suggestions or criticism... it all helps.

Probably help your 60' time quite a bit. I've heard 1.70-1.85 is pretty good. Yours seems a bit slow but could be track too. Assume not on 'race' gas but maybe 93 octane would minimally help.
